It’s finally feeling like summer! And what did I do to celebrate? Um, ride to the beach to EAT, of course! I was able to convine a few people to make the 45 mile round trip ride from Anaheim Hills to Newport Beach. We took the Santa Ana River Path which should have been easy [...]

I’m back.
Technically, I was never really gone. I was just busy blogging over here on a Specialized/Globe Bikes supported blog. Why? Because I can’t refuse a free bike when all they want from me is a little word barf–there was a bit of ranting (or soliciting sympathy, really) about the injuries I incurred while riding [...]

Unfortunately for Bobby, he crashed hard at around mile 23 going down a long, straight decent at around 35 mph. By the looks of this photo, I can’t stress how important it is to be wearing a helmet!
